Tis' the Season to Stand Out! Gear Up for Festivals and Markets
If you build it, they will come. But who are they? And are you sure they will come? Because a bunch of other people built something too... In this seminar, we'll highlight the importance of identifying and understanding your core audience, dovetailing into how you can most effectively communicate with them in the real world. We’ll spend most of our time reviewing case studies and tactics of activating at a large scale event, such a music festival or street fair, and how to best stand out in the sea of distractions. How will your audience spot you, and how can you ensure a meaningful one-on-one interaction once they do engage with you?
